Why am i receiving so much spam recently?
According to the anti-spam experts, we are seeing far more spam mails now than ever before. And the spammers are more clever about defeating the spam filters. That's why more spam is making it to the Inbox instead of going straight to the Bulk folder. There are a few basic things we can all do to keep spam to a minimum... 1. Spam mails that go straight to Bulk should be left there (and emptied occasionally if you want). But they should NEVER be opened. 2. Spam mails that land in your Inbox should be marked as Spam so that they are moved to Bulk and placed on the Blocked list (blocking that address so you don't receive any more mails from them). 3. Any email that you are the least bit suspicious about should be deleted immediately. Don't let curiosity get the better of you. Simply by opening a spam email, you could be alerting the spammers that you have an active email address (they probably didn't know it before), to which they will most certainly send TONS of spam mail in the future.
